    Robots are increasingly being used for a variety of tasks to assist humans. They are used in manufacturing, healthcare, agriculture, construction, military, and more. Robots allow us to perform dangerous, difficult, repetitive tasks more safely and efficiently. They can take over jobs that humans prefer not to do. As robot technology advances, robots will continue to transform more industries and become integrated into more aspects of our lives.

    Learning Objective: explain why we need robots

    Uses of Robots

    [source: Introduction to Robotics, Civil Air Patrol Aerospace Education, 2011, website: https://www.k-12robotics.org]

    In early times, robots were used for imagination and entertainment in the form of books and plays. Today,
    robotic pets, lawn mowers, and vacuum cleaners are already on the market for everyday use. Following the success
    of their Aibo robot dog, Sony developed a humanoid entertainment robot named QRIO. Honda's Asimo welcomes
    customers to their showrooms in Japan. Toshiba built a robot that can play volleyball. Fujitsu's HOAP-2 performs
    Japanese Sumo wrestling stances, as well as moves from the Chinese martial art Taijiquan.

    Rapid advances are being made in robotic control systems, artificial intelligence, neural networks, and in the
    miniaturization, sophistication, and reliability of electronic circuitry, sensors, and actuators. These are all
    contributing to a steady increase in the capabilities of robots. Robots currently under development may become
    widely used in the food, clothing, nuclear, and offshore industries, as well as in healthcare, farming, transportation,
    mining, and defense. Robots are also being used to further man’s knowledge of and access to space.

    Applications
    [source: wikipedia.com]
    As more and more robots are designed for specific tasks, this method of classification becomes more
    relevant. For example, many robots are designed for assembly work, which may not be readily adaptable for other
    applications. They are termed as "assembly robots". For seam welding, some suppliers provide complete welding
    systems with the robot i.e. the welding equipment along with other material handling facilities like turntables, etc. as
    an integrated unit. Such an integrated robotic system is called a "welding robot" even though its discrete
    manipulator unit could be adapted to a variety of tasks. Some robots are specifically designed for heavy load
    manipulation, and are labeled as "heavy-duty robots".
    Current and potential applications include:

     Military robots.
     Industrial robots. Robots are increasingly used in manufacturing (since the 1960s). According to
    the Robotic Industries Association US data, in 2016 automotive industry was the main customer of
    industrial robots with 52% of total sales. In the auto industry, they can amount for more than half of the
    "labor". There are even "lights off" factories such as an IBM keyboard manufacturing factory in Texas
    that was fully automated as early as 2003.
     Cobots (collaborative robots).
     Construction robots. Construction robots can be separated into three types: traditional robots, robotic
    arm, and robotic exoskeleton.
     Agricultural robots (AgRobots). The use of robots in agriculture is closely linked to the concept of AI-
    assisted precision agriculture and drone usage. 1996-1998 research also proved that robots can perform
    a herding task.
     Medical robots of various types (such as da Vinci Surgical System and Hospi).
     Kitchen automation. Commercial examples of kitchen automation are Flippy (burgers), Zume Pizza
    (pizza), Cafe X (coffee), Makr Shakr (cocktails), Frobot (frozen yogurts) and Sally (salads). Home examples
    are Rotimatic (flatbreads baking) and Boris (dishwasher loading).

     Robot combat for sport – hobby or sport event where two or more robots fight in an arena to disable
    each other. This has developed from a hobby in the 1990s to several TV series worldwide.
     Cleanup of contaminated areas, such as toxic waste or nuclear facilities.
     Domestic robots.
     Nanorobots.
     Swarm robotics.
     Autonomous drones.
     Sports field line marking.

    Questions:

    1. Why do we need robots?


    2. What do you think would be some applications of robots/robotics here in our own Butuan City?
    3. Do you think robotics education is a good investment to our youth today? Why?
